Abstract:
Non liquid-crystalline esterphenol-capped liquid polymer and polyol compositions in combination with an amino crosslinking agent endow coating compositions containing them with the ability of providing films having superior properties. The esterphenol-capped polymers and polyols can be prepared by direct esterification of hydroxybenzoic acid without its decarboxylation.
Abstract:
A thermosetting coating composition comprising as essential components:(a) a hydroxyl group-containing base resin,(b) an alicyclic polyepoxide crosslinking agent, and(c) a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a quaternary ammonium hydroxide and a metal chelate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for amino-crosslinkable coating formulations based on a mixture of a di or polyhydroxy functional polymeric component selected from the group consisting of diesters, polyesters, alkyd polymers, acrylic polymers and polycarbonate polymers, a methylol (alkoxymethyl) amino crosslinking agent and a bis-aromatic polyhydric phenol component having the structure of formula I: ##STR1## wherein X is selected from the group consisting of carbon to carbon covalent bond, oxygen, sulfur, --S--S--, --CO--, --SO--, --SO.sub.2 -- and a divalent organic radical having a molecular weight less than about 400, and wherein Y is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl and C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxy.The crosslinkable compositions of this invention may be used to prepare curable coating and paint formulations, and also may contain other ingredients such as a crosslinking catalyst, fillers, pigments and the like. When cured, the coatings of this invention exhibit improved hardness properties when compared with cured coatings which do not contain the aromatic polyhydric phenol additive. The presence of the additive also serves to eliminate the problem of coating softening when the coated substrate is baked for a prolonged period of time. These cured coatings also have good weatherability, good corrosion resistance and hydrolytic stability, enhanced oxidative and radiation stability, good solvent resistance and good adhesion properties.
Abstract:
A liquid coating composition is provided which comprises, as a binder, an addition polymer containing on average 2 or more pendant activated unsaturated groups and, as a crosslinking agent, a compound containing on average 2 or more primary amino groups. The pendant activated unsaturated groups of the addition polymer are based upon fumaric, maleic and/or itaconic acid and/or anhydrides thereof. The liquid coating compositions of the present invention provide the particular advantage of rapid cure at ambient temperatures.
Abstract:
Transesterification curing of ester polymers and hydroxyl polymers is effected by the inclusion of a transesterification catalyst comprising a catalytic amount of epoxy resin and certain inorganic salts.
Abstract:
Hydroxyl-containing polymers prepared by reaction of a polymerizable alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and an epoxy compound containing greater than 5 carbon atoms are disclosed. The polymer is prepared by free radical organic solution polymerization techniques. Synthesis of the polymers by this technique assures multiple hydroxyl functionality in all polymer chains thereby providing good cure response. The polymers are useful as binders in high solids coating compositions. When used with appropriate curing agents, the resultant coatings have good hardness, high gloss and distinctness of image, have good solvent and humidity resistance and are very resistant to acid etching.Preferred reactants are:(a) an alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and(b) a glycidyl ester of the formula ##STR1## where R=a tertiary aliphatic hydrocarbon group of 4 to 26 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
Liquid, curable coating compositions are provided based on an addition polymer containing hydroxyl groups and a curing agent. The compositions have a high solids content and hence a low solvent emission upon application. The addition copolymer contains structural units derived from isobornyl (meth)acrylate and/or a mono-ethylenically unsaturated compound of decahydronaphthalene and/or tricyclo(5.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ) and has a Mn of 600-15000 and a hydroxyl number of 30-320. The curing agent may be (blocked) isocyanate or methylolated aminoplast resin.The composition may be applied to vehicles as a top coat.
Abstract:
Coating compositions comprising a polymeric polyol with a polyester crosslinking agent having at least two beta-alkoxyester groups per molecule are disclosed. The compositions, when applied to a substrate and cured in the presence of a transesterification catalyst, give solvent-resistant coatings.
Abstract:
A thermosetting binder composition for coating, comprising:(I) (1) A non-acidic resinous saturated compound having a molecular weight of at least 900, and an alcoholic hydroxyl content of at least 0.2 eq./100 g;(2) A non-acidic polyester of a polycarboxylic acid crosslinking agent having more than one .beta.-hydroxyl ester group per molecule, and at least one of components (1) and (2) having an alcoholic hydroxyl functionality of more than 2, and(II) A transesterification-promoting metal salt or complex curing catalyst which is soluble in liquid hydrocarbons.For aqueous compositions, component (I) (1) is preferably a neutralized epoxy resin/amine adduct and component (II) should be insoluble in water; they can be used for cathodic electrodeposition.
